6. 84 Lumber was WAY more political than Lady Gaga

When a lumber company puts more muscle behind a political message than Lady Gaga, isn’t that the start of the apocalypse? I read that this year’s halftime was watched by more people than the actual game. But it was 84 Lumber’s ad that broke the Internet when viewers had to go online to see the rest of the commercial.

It’s a really well done commercial, and it’s very emotional — until you realize it’s actually encouraging illegal immigration.

A mother and her little girl walk across the hot Mexico desert. They have to borrow a bottle of water from other people making the same journey. The whole time, you see that a construction crew is working on something. It turns out; it’s Trump’s wall. The mother and daughter are defeated as they stand in its shadow. All this work to cross the border ILLEGALLY and now they can’t. Harrumph.

But then, 84 Lumber did them a solid and built a giant door — like the one on Noah’s ark — that isn’t locked, and they walk right through. The commercial ends with, “The will to succeed is always welcome here.”

Apparently, 84 Lumber is okay with law breakers. Maybe the company will set the standard and only hire illegal immigrants from this day forward. And maybe, just maybe, the CEO will open his mansion and allow illegal families to live in some of the extra rooms if he remembers to leave the gates open at the wall surrounding his house.
